Arizona State Sun Devils (official thread)

Well it's at least mine and Sushi's alma mater. Dennis Erickson, Rudy Carpenter and Dennis's army of JC players look to make some noise in the PAC-10. Mark my words... watch out USC.

Arizona State was anything but hobbled Saturday night even with starting tailback Ryan Torain on crutches.

Torain's replacements, Keegan Herring and Dimitri Nance, busted the longest runs of their careers in the third quarter as No. 14-ranked ASU remained unbeaten with a 44-20 win over Washington.

The Sun Devils (7-0, 4-0 Pac-10) are the only undefeated team in the conference and one of six left in the 119-team Football Bowl Subdivision. They are off next week, then return to Sun
</H1>Sun Devils continue to play tough. They'd own S.Florida. #8 in BCS.

What makes you so sure?

I know it's a bold statement and I'm completely bias... but I'm not buying S. Florida. We won't know how good they are even before bowls... if they lose to UC, Rutgers or Louisville, they'll be exposed. ASU on the other hand has Cal, USC and the Ducks... so we will know if they are for real by bowl games.

Neal McCready awoke Sunday morning in Oxford, Miss., and - before beginning a noisy drive back to Mobile, Ala., with his young children - came to the conclusion that Arizona State is the best college football team in America.

The sports columnist for the Mobile (Ala.) Press-Register ranked the undefeated Sun Devils No. 1 in the Associated Press poll.ASU (7-0), the only unbeaten Pac-10 team, plays its first nationally ranked opponent when No. 10 California (5-1) visits Sun Devil Stadium on Oct. 27.

The Sun Devils - who on Sunday climbed to No. 12 in the Associated Press, USA Today coaches and Harris Interactive polls - showed up at No. 8 in the first Bowl Championship Series standings on the strength of computer rankings that count for one-third of the BCS score

Okay, that's taking it a little too far.

Going to be a great Pac-10 race. Of the top Pac10 teams (ASU, ucla, USC, Cal, Oregon), only Oregon and Cal have played each other so far. Everybody but Oregon controls their own destiny as far as the Rose Bowl goes.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - Arizona State rushing leader Ryan Torain will miss the rest of the season because of a toe injury.

Sun Devils coach Dennis Erickson said Wednesday that the senior back has either a dislocated or broken big toe, possibly both. Torain was hurt in the first quarter of the No. 12 Sun Devils' victory over Washington on Saturday.

Torain had started six of the seven games for the unbeaten Sun Devils, rushing for 553 yards and five touchdowns. He also caught seven passes for 100 yards and two scores.
The injury leaves the starting running back spot to junior Keegan Herring, who has run for 480 yards. Arizona State (7-0) is off this week. The Sun Devils' next game is Oct. 27 at home against No. 10 California.


Implications?
